Abstract
THIS work is one of a “Rural Science Series,” edited by an American author, but it is by no means the best. Its principal fault is that in covering too much ground it fails to treat with thoroughness the numerous subjects which are included in the seven chapters described in the table of contents. The most important of these subjects are “The Soil and its Treatment,” “Glass” in relation to glass culture, “Seeds and Seedage,” the last a word quite new to the industry in England, the meaning of which is not absolutely clear, and “The Management of the Vegetable Garden.”
